what is the probability of rolling a 5 on a # cube?(decimal form)

A cube has 6 sides, so I assume they are numbered 1 through 6 just like normal dice. Since all sides are equally likely the probability is:
1 success / 6 possible outcomes.
1/6 in decimal form is 0.1666... repeating.

If you are talking about dice I actually think all the answers above are wrong. There is no # 5 on the cube, so I you have 4 chances of rolling it. 1 & 4, 4 & 1, 2 & 3, 3 & 2. Then you figure 4 out of 6.

1 out of 6 - Six sides to a cube you have a one in six chance of rolling a 5.
1/6 = .16666666...

Not enough info. What's a # cube and how many 5's are on it?

on a normal cube, there are six sides.
The probability would be 1 in 6.
1/6 = .1667

1 in 6 or (1/6) which is 0.16666 which is 16.6%
Assuming that the die has 6 sides.

maths question = math answer....
erm..... pie?
mmmmm.......pieeeeee =)
no seriously, it would be 1/6, because there are six sides and its one of the side.. in decimal form it would be 0.166666 reacurring ....
